This is a fantastic beginner pattern (also perfect for a week when I’m swamped with middle child’s birthday preparations)! If you can sc and dc, you can make this bath mitt! The PSC stitch is super easy, as the video tutorial shows, but it gives an amazing texture. The Pampering Picots Bath Mitt is a wonderful pattern for new crocheters to make for holiday gifting!

The loop is optional, and the colors are up to you – there are lots of great yarns that will work, but anything made of cotton, linen, or even bamboo would be lovely! The bath mitt is made in two pieces that are worked flat and then crocheted together – mix and match the pieces for a custom mitt!

Crochet the Sides and 1 End Together: Hold the Picot and Flat pieces together, wrong sides together, so the picots face you. Insert your hook through both layers on one side, as shown below. Work sc stitches, going through both layers with each stitch, along one side, across one end, and down the other side. Work 3 sc into each corner.

Crochet around the opening: Ch 1 and sc along the side facing you – just the one side, this is working around the opening of the mitt. Keep crocheting around the opening, along the back piece until you’ve crocheted all the way around the opening of the mitt. Sl st in the first sc of the opening, and ch 15 (or to length desired) for the hanging loop. Break the yarn and use the needle to sew the end of the loop to the last sc st.

And that’s it! You’ve made a bath mitt! For experienced crocheters, this pattern will be a breeze, and for new crocheters it’s a great skill builder – and a fun gift idea for the holidays! I hope you’ve enjoyed the pattern for the Pampering Picots Bath Mitt – tell me what you think in the comments!

Absolutely love, love, love this! Just watched the tutorial and it’s so easy. Will make several for upcoming birthdays and for Christmas gifts. Thanks, Tamera, for sharing your wonderful creativity with us!

Funny thing, though I haven’t checked in a day or 2, I was thinking about trying to work this up as a bath mitt myself–hadn’t gotten to the point of leaving off the thumb–silly work responsibilities interfere with my mental meanderings sometimes…I will make this, most definitely!

Pampering Bath Mitt. I made the front and back,and when I crocheted the two sides together,I decided to make a purse out of it by chaining 100 and crocheting in the bump on the back of the chain, it made a perfect strap for the purse. Enjoyed doing the Psc stitch. Enjoy your site so much… Virginia
